We have been back in Honduras now since Sunday! Leyla slept from Nashville to Atlanta but was awake the entire trip from Atlanta to Tegusigalpa! She fell asleep right as the plane landed and stayed asleep through customs. She loved looking out the window at the mountains and the clouds! When we got to Tegus, the bus station was closed for some reason and we didn't want to take the cheaper bus because they are so crowded - sooo, we paid the taxi driver to take us to Juticalpa. We rode a taxi to Juticalpa! And Leyla slept the whole way. Then Angel and his brother came in Marcos's truck and picked us up.
The house was fine, Dania had taken good care of it - almost all the plants were still there, haha. The house was picked up but there was a lot of dust. Amazingly we got all unpacked, bought groceries, did laundry, and cleaned the entire house on Monday!
Leyla is doing well now. The first couple of days she was a little confused and clingy but now she is doing really well. However, here's a really funny story: Wednesday night, Leyla was with Marcos coloring with markers all over herself and the floor. We heard her crying and so came in to see what was wrong and her feet were completely colored red and she was staring at them screaming! Every time she looked at her feet she screamed! We washed it all off and she still cried. She would not go to sleep - it was like she was scared of her feet! Finally we had the idea to put socks and pants on her and she calmed down. Poor thing cried for 2 hours I think and slept with us. I think she must have a really good memory or something because it bothered her the whole night and she couldn't forget about it. Even yesterday she would look at her feet and start whimpering!
That's really all the news, I haven't started working yet but have started getting prepared. Mostly we're just relaxing and taking a break and spending time with Leyla!
